The Directors beg leave to call the attention of the shipping in terest to the following letter:— .‘ London, June 13, 1836 " Sir—Havinr , just returned from the East Indies (in the com mand of the Lor ' d Hungerford), I am anxious to do justice to Kvan's patent process for the prevention of that mildew in sailcloth which causes their certain decay, by detailing to you facts under my own observation. " In order to satisfy myself of the alleged efficacy of the process, on my departure from England last August I had an awning made partly of common canvass and partly of the same canvass having been submitted to the patent process, considering this the fairest way of judging of the difference. The result proves that it was so, and by the end of the voyage, I consider that I had most decisive proof of the preservative power of the patent process. The por tions of the awning which had undercrone the process are perfectly sound and clean, whereas those made of the common unprepared canvass are quite mildewed. " You are at perfect liberty to make use of this letter, and I have much pleasure in affording to your c.impany so satisfactory a proof of the efficacy of the anti-dry rot process. " I am, Sir, vour obedient servant, (Signed) " CHARLES FARQUHARSON. " To the Secretary of the Anti-Dry Rot Company."

At the instigation of Lord LYNDHURST, the mea sure for reforming the Court of Chancery was thrown out last night by the Lords, on the second reading. This is another proof that our hereditary legislators are ready to play the part either of Destructives or Obstructives, as it suits their purpose. When a na tional object, such as the regeneration of the Irish Corporations, is to be attained, their Lordships, in the exercise of that absolute wisdom and irresponsible power which have descended to them from their ances tors, set to work with the besom of destruction, and, in the twinkling of an eye, the municipal institutions of Ireland disappear—not a trace remaining to tell the anxious enquirer where such things were ; and when it is proposed to reform the abuses—the glaring, acknow ledged abuses—in the administration of justice, they cling to these abuses under the pretence that they are part and parcel of the Constitution. Miserable, short sighted drivellers that they are t. What do they suppose must be the upshot of such frantic exhibitions ? The state of the Court of Chancery has long been a disgrace to a civilised country. Its total inadequacy to the purposes for which it is intended is allowed by all parties. Instead of being what such a Court ought to be—an instrument for the prompt and effectual ad . ministration' of justice—it is not unfrequently resorted to for the mere purpose of giving a litigious and frau dulent person an undue advantage over an honest man. The main cause of this inefficiency, or rather per version of the Court of Chancery, is the load of busi ness of various kinds with which the Judge who pre sides there is oppressed. The LORD CHANCELLOR is literally overwhelmed with his duties. It is utterly im possible for the mind of man—or the body of man as at present constituted—to fulfil the political and judicial functions which it falls to his lot to discharge. The obvious remedy for the evil is the separation of the one class of duties from the other, and this was the object of the Bills introduced by the Learned Lord who at present holds the Great Seal. It was pro posed that there should be separate Judges - to preside over the Court of Chancery and the appellate jurisdiction in the House of Lords. To this reasonable proposition no just objection could be made. Lord LYN ' to WU RS T therefore did not oppose the principle of the measure, but carped at some of the details in that petty quibbling spirit which has now become a habit with him. The pith of his opposition consisted in this, that it was impro bable that a man of first-rate legal acquirements would accept the Chancellorship, shorn of its political bea ms, as well as of a portion of its more substantial recom mendations, the consequence of which would be that the office would be degraded. To this the LORD CHANCELLOR replied that such an argument was at best hypothetical, and that there was no reason to anticipate the refusal of the Commons to endow the office with such a salary as might be necessary to its respectability. The Learned Lord pressed upon the House the propriety of going into Committee on the Bill, as the principle of it was not opposed, when alterations might be made to suit the views of those who objected to some of the details. But no. The Tory Ex-chancellor who holds the majority of the Peers in leading strings, would not consent, and made this very conclusive and characteristic reply to Lord COT TENHAM'S proposal :—" The Bill," said he, " would would then go down to the Commons as his (Lord LYNDHURST'S) Bill, and its fate might easily be an ticipated." What wretched shuffling this is ! What a pitifully shallow subterfuge ! Did not this bold bad man see that had the notion which the native meanness of his own mind alone suggested been correct, it formed no valid reason whatever for the rejection of the mea sure by the " stern-path-of-duty " men in the House of Lords. We recommend to the especial attention of our readers the masterly speech delivered on this occasion by Lord LANGDALE. It is full of sound and en lightened views. From the universally acknowledged legal attainments and high character of the Learned Lord, it cannot fail to make a powerful impression upon the public mind. We would also draw attention to the testimony borne to the exertions of Lord BROUGHAM, while that great man held the office of Lord • Chancellor. What these exertions must have been, may be judged from the fact, that Lold LYNDHURST, spite ful and envious as he is, could not withhold his meed of approbation from Lord BROUGHAM'S official labours. Lord COTTENHAM stated, that "by the un paralleled exertions of Lord BROUGHAM he had greatly reduced that arrear, which, in his (Lord COT TENHAM'S) thirty years' experience, had never been reduced before." A great deal of valuable time was wasted yesterday in the House of Commons on a foolish squabble be tween Sir FREDERICK 'FRENCH and Mr. RIGBY WASON. The House wished to reconcile matters between the Hon. Members, and in order to do so effectually, a world of speechification was resorted to, which had the usual result of widening the breach between the disputants. But the joke of the thing is this, that both Members were so peculiarly situated that they could neither give nor receive satisfaction ; and that the very bitterness of their mutual hostility only served to give the Sergeant-at-Arms still greater power over them. How absurd, then, for them, under such circumstances, to affect a shyness of recon ciliation, and stand out on a point of honour, when every one could see that a reconciliation was inevitable, as neither were free agents ! Really these sort of things, managed as they now are, are vastly ridiculous. One Hon. Member chooses to take offence at the expressions of another; the affair instantly gets wind; the SPEAKER interposes the weight of his official authority ; the Sergeant-at-Arms is put into requisition; the offenders look becomingly indignant at each other; and after both have .uttered a variety of pretty common places touching their wounded honour, feel ings, and so forth, the House undertakes to arrange the business between them ; and the progress of pub lie discussion is suspended for an hour and upwards, in order that a frivolous and purely personal matter may be settled, which, had conunon sense been allowed a voice, would have been settled in five minutes ! 't , Nre trust we shall have no more of these farcical disputes. If Hon. Members must indulge in the Milesian luxury of a " skrimmage," let them do so at their Clubs, not in Committee-rooms, where they are sure to be cruelly disappointed of the rational entertainment of shooting each other through the head. The French Papers of Sunday, received this morn ing, bring the conclusion of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of African Colonization. The Government obtained a complete triumph, so that the sums demanded were voted by acclamation. MM. DUVERGIER and DESJOBERT opposed the re tention of any settlement in Africa, as imposing upon the people of France a burden as grievous as it was useless ; but their arguments seemed to produce an effect the very reverse of what they intended. The Moniteur officially announces the death of the King of SAXONY, at Pilnitz, on the 6th inst. His MAJESTY had nearly completed his eighty-first year, so that his death will occasion no surprise to his people. He will be succeeded by his nephew, who for five yers past has participated in the Government of Saxony. The new Monarch is a man of liberal principles, and his public conduct has been such as to make him an object of veneration to his subjects. The Dukes of ORLEANS and NEMOU'RS are still at Vienna, where they experience the kindest treat ment from every member of the Imperial family. The King of the FRENCH, touched with the welcome re ception given to his sons by the Monarch of Prussia and Austria, has invited Princes CHARLES, AL BERT, and A UGUSTUS of Prussia—the Archdukes CHARLES and MAXINIILIAN, of Austria—and se veral distinguished German Nobles, to participate in the festivities of Fontainbleau in August. It was re ported that the King of PRUSSIA intends to visit the Royal Family of France about the same time. His MAJESTY will preserve a strict incognito. We have accounts from Bayonne of the Bth inst. The Carlists, notwithstanding their repeated losses in every action with the British troops, attacked the out posts of the Legion again on the morning of the 7th. After an obstinate and bloody engagement, they were again repulsed with considerable loss. Early on the following morning, they renewed their attack on the British lines with no better success. MINA has cleared Catalonia of the Carlists, and is preparing to send a force into Lower Arragon, suffi cient to drive CABRERA and his bands out of the Province. FETES AT FONTAINBLEAU. PARIS, JUNE 11.—Princes Charles and Albert, sons of the King of Prussia, Prince Augustus, Commander-in- Chief of the Prussian Artillery, Prince Charles of Mecklenburg (the King's brother-in-law), Commander-in-Chief of the Guard at Berlin, General Witzleben, Minister of War, General Bor stall, Commander-in -Chief in the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine, Count Bahl, Intendant-General of the Theatres, &c., in Prussia, Baron Alexander Von Hunboldt, C ounc ill or o f State, M. Schadow, a celebrated sculptor, and M. Hirt, Director of the Prussian Museum, have been invited by the French Princes, in the name of the King their father, to be present at the fetes at Fontainbleau, in the month of August next. All have accepted except General Witzleben, who has declined because his official duties will not allow him to quit his post. M. Ancillon, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has received a special invitation from the King of the French to the same effect ; to which the Minister has replied that he will gladly come to France at that time. The Archdukes Charles and Maximilian have also been in vited by the King. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours did not receive while they were at Berlin the Order of the Black Eagle of Prussia, because the King their father has not yet received it. But it seems certain that the sons . 4of.,the Ki ng o f P russia will be commissioned to pr e s ent the insignia of that Order to the King of the French and his two eldest sons. We are assured besides that the .Government has le arn t, i n a semi-official manner, that his Majesty the Ki ng o f Prussia intends to visit France in tile month of. August ; accor di ng to his invariable custom, his Majesty will observe the strictest incognito. PARIS, JUNE 12.—The Minister of Marine has just given an important mission to Captain Pardaillan. He has in structed him to visit the English Antilles, there to examine the effects of the emancipation of the Negroes. Captain Pardailian is a distinguished officer ; he commands the Fabert brig, with which he is also to visit the Dutch and Spanish Colonies. We have received an official account of the great bat- tie of Tingo, in Peru, fought on the 7th of February, between Generals SANTA CRUZ, President of the Re public of Bolivia, and SALAVERRY who had usurped the Presidency of the Republic of Peru, after forcibly expelling General ABREGOSO, the lawfully elected President of the Republic. SANTA CRUZ was at the head of 8,000 Bolivians, and obtained a complete victory over the insurgents. General SALAVERRY ' and 219 officers were made prisoners, after sustaining a loss of 600 killed and 350 wounded. The loss on ,he side of the Constitutionalists was 240 killed and 188 wounded. On the 18th three Generals, including SALAVERRY, and five other Officers of the insur gents were tried by a Court-Martial, and sentenced to be shot. This sentence was instantly carried into execution. The death of SALAVERRY has restored public tranquillity in Peru. The inhabitants with one accord submitted to SANTA CRUZ, who restored the President, and retired into Bolivia. On Tuesday last, a lady named Todd, who was travelling from London, by a coach which was passing through this town, was discovered by the driver, when at Ingatestone, to be lifeless. The coachman communicated the fact to her son-in law, who was outside, but that gentleman, after some hesitation, decided that no notice should be taken of the matter—the deceased being the only inside passenger,—until the journey, a further distance of 34 miles, was completed. On the road two ladies got in, the coachman having pre viously acquainted them with the circumstances ; being, how ever, extremely anxious to go by the coach, they waived all scruples, and rode with the corpse to their journey's end.— Essex Herald. THE PETTICOAT PA RLIA MENT.—In reference to the piece of Plate which the Ladies propose to present to the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, the Cheltenham Journal ex claims—" Homage and honour to the Honorable 1 Greeting and glory to the gay and gallant Grantley ! Praise and a piece of plate to the " Pet of the Petticoats !" The Parlia ment of 1836 shall, in memory of "Pope Joan," be renowned in song and story as "the Petticoat Parliament !" FA IRLOP FAlR.—Preparations are already making for this fair, and the magistrates of the district are particu larly anxious to adopt means for clearing the ground before the Sunday, and thus prevent those scences of r►ot and con fusion which too often take place on that day. A LADY IN THE HOUSE OP COMMONS.—The late Duchess of Gordon had so ardent a desire to hear Mr. Pitt speak in the House, that she was induced to adopt the expedient of entering the gallery habited as a man. The Duchess had not, unfortunately, made a secret of her design, and scarcely was she comfortably seated in expectation of the Minister's speech, when the Sergeant-at-Arms appeared and very politely whispered to her Grace that her sex was disco vered, and that there existed a standing order of the House against the admission of any females into the gallery,. " Pray inform me, Sir," inquired the Duchess, " whether t'here ex ists any standing order for turning a female out who has once got in ?"—a question that so effectually posed Mr. Coleman that he effected his retreat, leaving the adventurous lady in quiet enjoyment of her place. The Commercial Steam-packet Company's fine vessel the Emerald, which sailed for London a little before ten o'clock on Saturday morning, reached Boulogne at half past eight the same evening, performing the voyage in the short space of ten hours and a half. The Emerald carried about 150 passengers to Boulogne, and upwards of 300 to Ramsgate. There are at present in Paris twenty infant asylums for receiving the children of indigent families, while their parents are out of work. They receive altogether 3,700 chil dren. Four more similar buildings are in construction, and will be opened next year. We notice, in the last batch of New York Papers, further creations of Bank capital by the Legislature of that State, on the 4th, sth, and 6th ult., and which are aptly headed—" Three days' work at legislation."

The power-loom system, commonly so known, ought to be called the Radcliffe system. Without the dress ing -machine, invented by Mr. William Radcliffe, of Stock port, the power-loom was utterly worthless, except as a piece of curious mechanism. That of Dr. Cartwright has never been other than useless; yet he obtained a grant from Par liament of 10,0001. for the invention. Mr. Samuel Crompton, for his splendid discovery of the spinning -mule, received the niggardly award of 5,0001. from the same source; but Mr. Radcliffe was beggared by his inventions. His patents were invaded by a joint-stock purse combination ; and he himself, from a prosperous manufacturer, brought to bankruptcy from expenses, time, and labour, lavished upon his valuable inven tions. The contemporary of Sir Richard Arkwright, and the friend of the late Sir Robert Peel, is, we have reason to be lieve, yet alive, and at an advanced age languishing in poverty, if not in actual distress--the sole recompense of inventions which have produced, and are producing millions and tens of millions to this country.—Blachwood's Magazine. TOURISTS IN SWEDEN.—A great many foreigners have arrived at Frankfort, and will remain some days, being detained by the coldness of the weather, because they are going into the northern provinces of Sweden, Norway, and Lapland. The mass of these tourists is composed of Eng lish, French, and Italians, who are going to pass the summer months near the Pole, in order to fish in the lakes or hunt the elk or the reindeer. The Swedish Minister, instead of dis couraging these adventurers, has assured them of being well received by his Government. It appears that in the middle of this month Tornea will be a rendezvous of learned and scientific men of all nations, who will make observations with new and more perfect instruments. It is also believed that the Prince Royal of Sweden will join this scientific caravan. Nothing will be wanting to render it agreeable to the travellers, as well as use ful to science. Russia, it is true, has made some observations on these excursions, which it considers as too liberal, but Sweden has too high a sense of its national independence to submit its internal police and foreign policy to the dictates of any foreign Cabinets, however vast may be the masses of sol diers they have at their command.—Frankfort Paper. Mr. Grant, a British subject, has been prosecuting at St. Peterburgh, for nearly 30 years, a claim upon the Russian Government, amounting to 330,000 roubles, but hitherto without success, notwithstanding all the exertions made in his behalf by the successive British Ministers at St. Petersburgh. The decision of the different tribunals before which the case had been heard had been confirmed by the Emperor ; and as no revision of a case so decided was consi dered practicable according to the established usages of the country, there seemed to be no longer any hope that Mr. Grant would ever obtain redress. Lord Durham, however, having found an opportunity of bringing the case unofficially to the notice of the Emperor, his Imperial Majesty, not re strained by the want of a precedent from doing that which his sense o_f justice satisfied him was correct, directed the whole matter to . be again referred to the Council of State, and the result wall a decision in favour of Mr. Grant, which was confirmed by the Emperor's signature on the 19th of last month. On &Imlay morning, a fatal accident happened to two respectable young men while enjoying the pleasure of an excursion on the river in a small boat, without the aid of a scaterman. When they arrived off Chelsea-reach, between Battersea and Vauxhall bridges, the boat was unfortunately overturned by the swell of the Endeavour Richmond steam boat, and nne of the young men was drowned. Several men have since been employed in dragging the river, for the pur pose of recovering the body, which, up to an early hour yes terday morning, had not been found. It is much to be re gretted that the circumstance of there being so many lives lost throe ,gh the inexperience of persons undertaki ng_ the ma nagement of boats is not sufficient to deter people from ven turing on the water without a waterman to guide them. Many of the Scotch bullocks brought to London by the stea iners have been so much bruised on the voyage as to deterior; le very materially both the appearance and value of the meat. Tuesday morning, eleven shepherds from L oc h a b er , with twels o women, and a du e proportion of collies or shep herds' d ogs, left Inverness for Van Diemen's Land. One of the Hig' islanders learning in Lochaber that Government had offered a . bounty of 201. to all married men, and not being pro vided w ith a helpmate, set about supplying this deficiency. He had only three days to accomplish the task of courtship and mar riage, and he met with two refusals. herA t es length, H o e n r friends n usethat e but tt t he youngep m could a rtle r s em geo a nt i , wn n e a h t be h e o ge m radv e e , t h h e e popped the steam t -boat in questionthe l asy d d t d o a a the Canal' t'or Inverness, and were determined to be united.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1836. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night, after the presentation of some petitions, and the announcement of the intentions of Go vernment to bring in a Bill to remove the control of the packet stations from the Post-office to the Admiralty, the Lord Chancellor moved the second reading of his Bill for reforming the Administration of the Court of Chancery, and altering the Appellant Jurisdiction of the H ouse of Lords and Privy Council. The measure had for its object the appointment of a third Equity Judge, to preside in the Court of Chancery alone, as Lord Chief Justice of that Court, leaving to the Lord Chancellor, for the time being, the Appellate Jurisdiction in the Lords and in the Privy Council. After considerable discussion, this Bill (with which the others connected with it, of course, fell to the ground) was thrown out by a majority of 65. Lord Langdale's speech is pregnant with instruction ; the sound and enlarged views which he took upon the subject of Le gislation and the Administration of Justice, entitle it to particular attention. In no part of our system is reform more required, than in the important provinces of making and of administering laws. In the COMMONS' the proceedings at the morning sit ting, comprehending the settlement of the personal affair between Sir F. Trench and Mr. Wason, and the more im portant restoration of 85 clauses to the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, were reported yesterday in The Sun. At the evening sitting, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he hoped soon to introduce a measure for the alteration of the duty on first class paper, to take place from the October quarter. With respect to the duty on stained paper, be thought it would be very much for the convenience of trade, were the reduction to take place in the July quarter. He could not consent to allow a drawback on the stock on hand, because the revenue would be subjected to great loss by acceding to such a proposition. The Herne Bay Pier Bill was read a third time and passed. The North Ame rican Bank Company Bill was read a second time. Mr. Bannerman, in bringing up the report of the Aberdeen Schools Bill, stated that it was not his intention to proceed any further with the measure during the present . session. A new writ was ordered for South Warwickshire, in the room of Mr. Sheldon, deceased. Lord Ashley called the attention of Government to an alleged violation of the Fac tory Act. The House then went into Committee on the Registration of Births, &c., Bill. An amendment pro posed on one clause by Dr. Bowring, and one by Mr. Poulter for another, were severally negatived. Then, after disposing of clauses down to the 28th, the House adjourned. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) TWELVE O'CLOCK. Hobart Town Papers have been this day received to the 6th February. They state that the Boadicea, with female emigrants, was in the river. The Colonial Secretary, the chief Police Magistrate, and the Port Officer had gone to visit the vessel. A copious fall of rain had proved highly beneficial to the turnip and potato crops, as well as to the pas ture ; but had not been advantageous to the grain.

Wordsworth, the poet, accompanied by his friend Robinson, he Barrister, intends in a few days to leave London for the Continent, on an extended tour through Italy and Sicily. Wordsworth has already visited France, Spain, Portugal, and Germany; but his journey to Italy will be for the same time. M. Brezin, the celebrated founder, to whom nearly all the cannons of Napoleon are owing, died lately at Garches, near St. Cloud. He has left a colossal fortune, part of which he has bequeathed to the founding of an hospital for his work men, which is to contain 300 beds, and is being erected at Garches. DISTRESS OF THE HAYMAKERS.—It has been a heart-rending sight during the past week to travel in the suburban parts of the metropolis, particularly on the northern roads, where hundreds of English and Irish mowers and hay makers, with their numerous families, are grouped about the roads in the most abject poverty. The severity and len_gth of the winter, and the present precarious state of the weather, have so delayed the commencement of the harvest, that scarcely a farmer about town ham ventured to cut his grass ; and hence the shoals of Irish haymakers and English mowers who have arrived near town in quest of employment, and fail ing to find it, have been reduced to a deplorable state of priva tion. Every passenger of respectable appearance, whether on foot, horseback, or in a vehicle, is accosted by a knot of sup pliants, of all ages and denominations, urging their claims in the most pitiable terms. At night they take up their abode under haystacks, in stables, and hedges.— Observer. EXPRESSIVE DINNER. - -The Herald of Monday, with that felicity of diction which is characteristic of " Grand mama," thus opens a long laudatory notice of a dinner, which, it seems, has been given to the once dinnerless Member for Evesham. " The electors of this Conservative borough have given a public dinner to their Member, expressive of their un abated confidence and regard, after the recent trial at Taun ton." Further on the public are informed, that with respect to his early reverses and struggles, the Hon. Member " sup ported his explanations by affidavits ! and other documents of the most convincing character," and that he " was loudly cheered during, and at the close, of his speech ; after which, various loyal and constitutional toasts were drank, expressive of the attachment of the company to conservative principles in Church and State." It had, perhaps, been well for Mr. if attachment to Conservative principles had always been shown by him towards his own character—which, notwithstanding his proceedings at law, to mend it, is still, by most people, thought to be none of the highest, the purest, or the best. At a meeting of old Etonians, held at the Thatched house Tavern, on Saturday the 11th of June, Lieut.-Colonel Si r William Robert Clayton, Bart., M. P., in the chair; a committee was formed for the purpose of collecting and ap plying the sums subscribed for a testimonial to the Rev. Dr. Keats, and it was resolved, that upon Saturday the 9th of July, the committee should proceed to determine upon the choice of the proposed testimonial, until which day the sub cription list at Messrs. Hammersleys' will be kept open. A few days ago the inhabitants of a house in the Rue Cadet were alarmed by the smell of charcoal proceed ing from a small apartment occupied by the young Ernest L --, first clerk in one of the principal shops of the Rue Vivienne. They burst open the door, and found the unfortu nate young man breathing his last, surrounded by several pans of charcoal. All assistance was unavailing. A letter written by the deceased, at the moment of committing the fatal act, to his employer, stated, that having entered a gaming-house and lost 1,200 francs, which were the property of his em ployer, he had preferred death to the shame of such an avowal. —French Paper. ROLLS COUitT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of causes after term the Master of the Rolls sat at the Rolls, in Chancery-lane, where 84 country and 29 London solicitors were sworn in ; after which his Lordship proceeded with the short causes, none of which possessed any public interest. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. John Myers, aged 15, was convicted of stealing a silver pencil case and a book, of the value of 55., from the person of Patrick Bird, at Greenwich Fair. The Court sentenced him to be once privately whipped and to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for a month. Robert Bell, aged 16, was indicted for stealing a purse con taining 6s. 2d., from the person of Susan Tytherley. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix was walking with her better half, enjoying the delights of Greenwich Fair on the 25th of May last, late in the evening, when the prisoner, together with several of his companions, sur rounded and hustled them. The prosecutor saw the prisoner take the purse from her pocket, and when the husband inter fered, the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the side of his face. He was, however, secured, and the purse con taining the money was found in his possession. The prisoner said that he had picked up the purse. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Ann Davis, aged 27, was convicted of stealing a carpet, and several articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mary Wat kins, her employer. The prisoner was again indicted for a similar offence, and found guilty, but was recommended to mercy on account of her previous good character. Eliza Bailey, aged 25, a married woman, was convicted of stealing several articles of wearing apparel, and sentenced to one months imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

MASS CELEBRATED IN ENGLISH.—.On June 5, the ceremony of the Mass in the vernacular tongue was cele brated at Birr, by Mr. Crotty, the Catholic priest. The people were highly edified and delighted. We direct the attention of all interested in the Tim ber trade to the advertisement of the Anti-dry Rot Company, inserted in another part of The Sun. A process by which the inferior timber of Canada can be made as durable as Baltic timber, cannot be too highly extolled by a commercial people. Builders, more especially, ought to adopt this remedy against the decay which all our new streets so soon exhibit, if for any time untenanted, in consequence of the badness of the wood employed in roofing them. The Earl of Beauchamp has made some very exten sive purchases of lands lately in Worcestershire, and is now one of the greatest landowners in that county. A report has been circulated in Exeter during the early part of the week, to the effect that Sir W. Follett was about to resign his post as representative, on account of ill health. We have heard that Lord Courtenay is to be the candidate.— Western Times. REPRESENTATION OF MERIONETHSHIRE.— Every shifting of the scene in what must be termed par cour tesy, the politics of the county of Merioneth, only further de velopes the farce that is being enacted there. It is the free dom of election travestied ; a constitutional appeal burles qued. The late representative—for we understand that Sir R. Vaughan has at length " taken measures to vacate his seat in Parliament,"—has not only essayed a plot, but also a coun terplot ; the first to blind the freeholders, and the last his own clique of apparently-trusted confidants ; and then, with all the coolness imaginable, he gives both the go-bye when it suits his good will and pleasure. He first tells the " gentry, clergy, and freeholders, he is ready to resign at their earliest conve nience." Almost contemporaneously with this declaration comes out Mr. Richards, as his nominee, to succeed him. Sir W. Wynn, the Reforming candidate for the representation of Merionethshire, arrived at Dolgelly on Saturday.—Carna rvon Herald. THE CHINA TRADE.—Yesterday a m eeting of the merchants and oth ers c o nnected with the importation of tea from China, was h e ld at th e City of London Tavern,o for the purpose of receivi ng a re port from those members of the East India and China Association who have had interviews with Government for the purpose of obtaining, if possible, an extension of the peri o d fixed for the paym ent of the present duty upon Bohea t eas .

Larpent took the chair.

THE GREAT GALLEY MATCH BETWEEN THE GENTLEMEN O F CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD.—The difference between the gen tlemen of the Universities, which we stated a few days since, has not yet been adjusted. The Oxonians arc expected in town this evening ; the others have been practising during the last week, and have been initiated by Noulton, certainly a very good general ; but at the same time they cannot, by the conditions of their wager, have him as coxswain. Without any reference to Noulton, it must be admilted that it is a bad maxim to train with men who go a great deal of money in wagers ; it is possible that the " telegraph might be worked." The Oxonians are the favourites at 6 to 4, and at some places 2 to 1 has been given, rather too much odds, considering that the gentlemen of Cambridge have nearly all new hands in their boat. The mile and a half proposed is really almost childish, for they would just leave off when her way was well on her. As Oxford has been the winner two or three times, there is no doubt, when the distance is argued, that the gentlemen will consent to row them their way. There is hardly a shadow et doubt that, let the distance be arranged as it may, the match will come off on Friday afternoon. The start is from West minster-bridge. MR. ROBINSON'S MATCH TO GRAVESEND AND BACK.--. 6 the present light south-westerly breeze continues, Mr. Robin son will give his notice to-day. It will depend on how the moon comes in, and if it be as calm as yesterday afternoon he has some chance of winning. DENVER (NORFOLK) SHEEP SHOW- Messrs. T. and J. Brown held their annual show of Leices ter tups on Thursday, the 9th inst., when a numerous com pany, some from a great distance, assembled—all evidently pleased and surprised at the perfection to which the intelli gence and energy of the Messrs. Brown have carried their fa vourite breed of sheep. They were thought in many points to be superior to those of last year; but the best proof of their excellence is the eagerness with which they are sought by those breeding, to whom purity of blood, early aptitude to fatten,. symmetry, and constitution, are any objects ; and what sheep farmer does not so consider them ? We hold these Gentlemen entitled to the thanks, and worthy the special commendation of the public, for the oppor tunity thus afforded of improving the breed of sheep, and that, too, at a comparatively moderate rate. We speak disinter estedly on this point, for we are Southdown, not Leicester, fanciers ; but, bearing in mind, that there is such a thing 85 combininc , the excellencies of both breeds in the form 8 f a half bred,' a most valuable animal, especially as regards the article of wool, we cannot help thinking the exertions et Messrs. Brown highly meritorious. In a general way, f ar too little attention is shown to the qualities of the male. Many seem to think that any sort of tup (so he be but a Leicester), will answer for crossing. It is a grievous error in judgment-- a perfect sire is as necessary in this case as any other--and why not ? But to resume our report. After examining the sheep, both individually and collectively, the party adjourned to a large tent, in which a sumptuous dinner had been pre pared, and nearly forty sat down thereto. Amongst them were—E. R. Pratt, J. W. Gooch, J. W. Powell, Esq . ., Messrs. Littles, Waddelow, Anderson, Rand, H. Childs, S Taylor, Paul, Mumford, Garnham, Hunter, Leete, Chester, Read, Bush, Stanger, Ewen, Burrell, Cottingham, &c., &c. After a few of the usual toasts had been given "Y Mr. T. Brown, E. R. PRATT, Esq., rose, and expressed his high gratifica tion (as Mr. Brown's landlord), at being present at so Inrg e and respectable a meeting. It always gave him pleasure t _ e meet the yeomanry, and more especially on such an occas ion as the present, when his own estate was the theatre of improve ment, his own tenants the promoters of that improvement; viz.: the very important one of sheep management. For himself, he was a Southdown breeder, but he was not the le ! s disposed to appreciate the merits of the Messrs. Brown to what they had done for their breed, the Leicesters. He el wished he could beat them—that was all the rivalry he desi red between them. Entertaining these sentiments, he was stets he should meet the wishes of all present by drinking the het° h9 of their worthy hosts, and success to them.--( Cheers.) o o The presence, in good health and spirits, of this " fine he English Gentleman," added greatly to the interest of t meeting. After several other appropriate toasts, the company B g a n iii . adjourned to the sheep-pens, and the business of the day an d eluded amid the universal satisfaction of both hosts visitors. - - - - SILVER SNUFF BOXES, of all sizes, and of a gr e w variety of Patterns, either Plain or richly Chased, are offered, F.og Eighteen Shillings per Ounce, at T.
